Buckingham Gulch Tower 38 Floors, 450+ ft., 345 residential units, 4,900 sq. ft. retail

[smeagolsfree]

I was just thinking about this last night. There are 6600 higher paying jobs coming to the downtown area. We will need the units. I suspect we may see some of the recent announcements start sooner than we thought and some new high rise residential proposals pop up in the next few months.

The ones I could think of off my head. This represents somewhere around 4200 to 4400 units. An est. only. Now not everyone will be living downtown and this is not counting the current rate of fill for the new apartments. We are going to need a lot more.

Under construction:

5th + Broad apartments 34 story/380 units

Apartments at Nashville Yards 18 story/? units

Broadwest residential 34 story/220 units

Alliance Stockyard 5 story/310

Kenect 21 story/420 units

Broadstone SOBRO 7 story/271 units

Endeavor 1200 Broadway 27 story/362 units

Proposed:

Buckingham residential  38 story/?

HRI residential tower 24 story/?

805 Lea 31 story

Sixth Ave South 10 story/?

Broadstone SOBRO 10 story/?

Four Seasons Residences 40 story/?

Paramount 60/200 units

Endeavor Gulch Union 28 stories/?

The Derby 4 story/285 units

Now you're asking the right question!  Tons of people moving here from cities that are used to urban living...all who make a lot more than your average Nashvillian (certainly more than I do).  We're going to need to see some luxury offerings not just for the new residents, but for those who now see Nashville as an attractive place to buy a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th home for entertainment purposes.

Unfortunately, not without another fight over height...the variance expired months ago. It's a strange shaped lot, and only something tall would make it worthwhile. So the developers may go for it again.

The Terrazzo residents were happy with the tall plan.  I don't think our HOA would fight it, assuming all the same boxes are checked.  Icon's resistance was based on almost nothing.  So, I would say this tall boy would be a go.

Buckingham did the Aertson.  How is that performing?  If it's doing well, maybe they're ready for this project.

[smeagolsfree]

The only person that will fight it is the crazy lady in 1212. When Marketstreet builds a 20 story next to her she will not have to worry because she will not see the building from there.

At least I think that is what the lot where the gravel lot is zoned for with bonus height.

Thanks,

 

This is assuming its just 6600 new jobs we know about. If those number hold true the multiply by 1.5 and you get another 10,000 or so jobs. So 16,600 jobs created from AB, Amazon & E& Y.

Now not all will be high end jobs and not all will live downtown but lets say a third of all the new jobs do the that still equates to about 5000 new units we will need over the next 2 to 3 years.

Holy-Moly! I can see 100,000 downtown workers in the not too distant future. That’s going from boutique to robust in terms of CBDs.

[Hey_Hey]

I would think most of those direct spinoff jobs aren’t going to be downtown, though. These are the extra attorneys, accountants, nurses, car mechanics, real estate agents, physicians, hair stylists, Uber drivers, and dentists (along with several others) needed to serve the additional 5000 employees and their families.

This is merely a massing of what is allowable per the Nashville Downtown Code.  Twenty stories plus a Bonus Height incentive to go an additional 8 floors.

[rolly]

I can't tell from this thread on why this didn't happen.  Was it an owner issue (financing?) or zoning/regulations/nimbies? Thanks.

When it comes to all the rumors and such... Some of us are dying... . I realize there are rewards (and should be) for coming to the meetups, but there are people (hmmmm, like myself) when the weekends are often the ONLY times I can spend with my family.  I'd love to come to a meetup, but I'm not keeping just my schedule... at the very least, I'm keeping my wife's and mine. And with kiddos... well, it's pretty much NEVER.

I wish I could at least spend a weekend with my family. Only day off is on a freaking Monday. 

[markhollin]

I don't believe there is any secret about the Buckingham Gulch Tower.  It has just been put on indefinite hold.   The people behind it are well financed, and just have several other big irons in the fire right now.  It quite possibly happen in the not-too-distant future.  We just need to be patient. 

[LA_TN]

I agree also. They took YEARS before they started the Aerston Midtown / Kimpton project. Everyone thought it was dead

**Buckingham owns this lot in the Gulch for this project 

[MidTenn1]

But they lost their height allowances. For reference....

I commiserate. Living in the Atlanta area now, and also being a little burdened by different life things as well, I totally get that.

It looks like this one is still alive. Buckingham recently applied for Water/Sewer capacity studies. Here’s the PDF:

https://epermits.nashville.gov/download.aspx?id=292640

Total of 231 One bedroom units, 114 Two bedroom units, and a 4,900 square foot restaurant. 
 

There was a drawing of the ground floor and massing diagram included:

Of note, it looks as though they are planning to split the building between apartments and condos. 

[smeagolsfree]

Taylor had alerted me to this and we have tried to reach out to Buckingham but they have not responded. The massing looks to be the same as the old one, but they will have to go in front of Planning to get the height variance to build the height they need.

We at least have the number of units now and we did not have that until now.

This is actually one of the mystery towers I have been referring to for a while now and it may be back on track and I have heard a little taller, maybe 500'. Dont know anything concrete yet.

I hope the architect is still SOM.

Plans related to a major mixed-use skyscraper that has long been eyed for The Gulch seemingly have taken a step forward. Buckingham Cos. has applied for a permit related to water and sewer availability on the site.

Officials declined to comment in detail but noted in an email to the Post that the company is "very early in the development process and, as such, details are subject to change." Relatedly, it is unclear if the planned tower’s design has changed.

[Mr_Bond]

This is exciting news!  The height of this building is similar to what we find in the CBD.  It will help frame skyline shots to make all of downtown bigger.

Is this project dead?  Any status updates available?  Signed, Drooling Over This One.

[smeagolsfree]

No updates. I think it may have been moving forward before COVID, but now who knows.
